Claire (proud-mum) | 1086 comments I'm going to read Life of Pi by Yann Martel.


message 5: by Maggie (new)

Maggie (maggie4007) | 114 comments hello, would Seeing a Large Cat (Amelia Peabody, #9) by Elizabeth Peters work? It's not a "traditional" cat, so I just wanted to check! Thanks!


message 6: by D.G. (new)

D.G. It amazes me that with all the books about shifters I read, I don't have even ONE in my TBR with any sort of cat on the cover...

Vi | 184 comments I found only one - Tiger Eye (Dirk & Steele, #1) by Marjorie M. Liu . Will this work?

Thanks. I have over a thousand books on my to-read shelf but found maybe two with cats on the cover. Doh! Lots of dogs and birds though.


message 16: by D.G. (new)

D.G. I think I found one that I want to read and my library has!

How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You by Matthew Inman

It's sequential art but it has 136 pgs so I think I'm good.

Yep, you're good. I read some of the preview -- looks funny and disturbingly true... ;-)

LOL! My husband says I'm a cat (I have weird habits that seem inexplicable to him) so he'll get a kick out of it.

Sorry for the delayed response, Dee. I ran off to Key Largo for the weekend. ;-)

In answer to your question: Yes, they look like big cats to me.

As long as it's obviously a cat (like this one), it's fine.


message 27: by Ty (new)

message 28: by Cindy AL (new)

Cindy AL (cangelmd) | 645 comments Honor's Paradox (Kencyrath, #6) by P.C. Hodgell

Does this one work? I thought this would be easy, but I guess I don't read about cats much!

Sure. It's a demented looking cat, but it's a cat! ;-)

Jennifer W | 466 comments I know this cover will work, but I'm concerned that there's not enough text: I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats

Books of poetry that are over 100 pages work. So, yes, it's fine.

Jennifer W | 466 comments Cool! Thanks.

Kathy G. | 1931 comments Would this book work for "kitty"-
the inside jacket says Dorothy's cat is named
Eureka--- and I think that is her cat on the cover.

message 39: by Coralie (new)

Coralie How about Senor Vivo & The Coca Lord by Louis de Bernières ? I believe there are cats of some sort between the author's name and the title.

They do look feline. Please point them out and say they've been approved when you post. I had to study them for a while and I don't want Sandy to have to study them, too. ;-)


message 41: by Coralie (new)

Coralie Thanks. Now I just have to hope that the library catalog didn't lie about which cover they have.
